Lyman Case Prep Xpress vs. RCBS Trim Mate...any opinions?

[DarkSyd]

I'm in the market for this sort of gadget, and I'm reasonably familiar with the RCBS unit, but I haven't had a chance to see the Lyman one yet. Has anyone used one? Any pros/cons vs the RCBS unit?

The Lyman unit comes with the pocket reamers, which saves me a bit of $ up front, and I'm guessing is likely faster or has a stronger motor/gear system given the extra size.

I have the RCBS and it works well. The Lyman unit is definitely worth looking at.

I just bought a trim mate. I like it so far. Man it makes things quicker. All i need now is a power trimmer and im good to go. Next investment. I would look at the lyman for sure as it looks worth while.

ditto , it works great . I just hate having to lock the shell in the holder because my thumb gets sore after a bit

That's pretty neat, but just not enough to sway me from my Wilson trimmer I think I'll give the Lyman a try, if I can find anyplace that has it. If not, I'll get it on my next order from Sinclair.
